Glyceryl Stearate Citrate: skin-friendly emulsifier

Glyceryl Stearate Citrate is a natural emulsifier and is completely compatible - even for very sensitive skin. It is similar to Glyceryl Stearate , another natural emulsifier.

Glyceryl Stearate Citrate is made from vegetable oils. Unlike some other emulsifiers, the manufacturing process for Glyceryl Stearate Citrate is very sustainable. The emulsifier is easily biodegradable.

Emulsifiers such as Glyceryl Stearate Citrate are useful if you want to use a homogeneous cream. Only with an emulsifier are fat and water able to combine and stay together.

Unfortunately, people often create fear of emulsifiers. This is wrong. Emulsifiers are not generally dangerous for the skin. Nevertheless, if you have sensitive skin, it makes sense to only use emulsifiers that are identical to your skin. In theory, any emulsifier can act like a mild surfactant (washing substances in cleansers ) and wash fats out of the skin if the skin cannot cope with the emulsifier.

However, the skin's own emulsifiers such as glyceryl stearate citrate are incorporated directly into the skin and are completely metabolized through the skin, so that fats cannot be washed out. Dry skin sometimes even has far too few emulsifiers, which means that moisture and pure oil cannot be absorbed when layered on top of each other. Glyceryl stearate citrate helps the building blocks to be completely absorbed and incorporated into the skin.
